Pensacola, FL (PRWEB) January 14, 2013

ActiGraph, a leading provider of objective patient monitoring solutions for the global research community, today announced the release of a new mobile app for researchers. The iOS compatible ActiLife Mobile app supports in-field communication with the company’s newest generation of wireless-enabled physical activity and sleep/wake monitoring devices, allowing researchers to initiate data capture and view real-time summary data and operating status reports from active devices in the field using an iPhone or iPad.

ActiLife Mobile includes three distinct areas of functionality that offer researchers more flexibility along with an added measure of security against errors and data loss.

Device Management: ActiLife Mobile users have the ability to monitor the operating status of active devices, including battery voltage, data collection status, sample rate and amount of recorded data. This critical feature allows the researcher to preemptively identify and correct any issue that may compromise the integrity of a data set.

“ActiLife Mobile was designed specifically to make the researcher’s job easier and more effective by giving them the flexibility to perform many of their tasks outside the lab and without being tethered to a PC workstation.” said Jeremy Wyatt, ActiGraph’s Vice President of Software Engineering. “Perhaps even more important however is the ability to use a mobile device to monitor subject behavior and compliance during data collection. This adds a dynamic element to the study and enables the research team to implement changes in protocol based on real-time information, ultimately saving time and money.”

The ActiLife Mobile iOS app is now available for download in the Apple App Store. More information about ActiGraph’s wireless and mobile patient monitoring solutions can be found at http://www.actigraphcorp.com.
